Death of a President is “tasteless;” bridge suicide film is compassionate

San Francisco Chronicle movie critic Mick LaSalle podcasts his review of the new movie “Death of a President,” which opens Friday. Hear why he calls the controversial film “tasteless” and “garbage.”

Also, Mick chats with deputy arts and entertainment editor Leba Hertz about what he remembers after seeing “The Bridge,” a documentary that he says treats the subject of Golden Gate Bridge suicides with compassion, but left him with disturbing images.

And Mick and Leba talk about Charlie Chaplain, Clark Gable and “buddy movies.”
